Academically oriented Christians especially tend to think that the barriers to faith should be removed by repackaging the content of the message in a way more congenial to the modern outlook. But it is quite possible that we are dealing not so much with a failure of intellect as with an alienation from the experiential roots of Christianity itself so amply attested in the New Testament.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As regards parents, I should like to see them as highly educated as possible, and I do not restrict this ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63838]]></link><description><![CDATA[As regards parents, I should like to see them as highly educated as possible, and I do not restrict this remark to fathers alone.rn]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We believe in and are developing a broad-based equity plan so that all our people can participate in a stock-option ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34291]]></link><description><![CDATA[We believe in and are developing a broad-based equity plan so that all our people can participate in a stock-option program that will enable them to share in the growth potential of the company.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Christina Rossetti, Poet, 1894  We cannot attain to the understanding of Scripture either by study or by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8246]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Christina Rossetti, Poet, 1894  We cannot attain to the understanding of Scripture either by study or by the intellect. Your first duty is to begin by prayer. Entreat the Lord to grant you, of His great mercy, the true understanding of His Word. There is no other interpreter of the Word of God than the Author of this Word, as He Himself has said, "They shall be all taught of God" (John 6:45). Hope for nothing from your own labors, from your own understanding: trust solely in God, and in the influence of His Spirit. Believe this on the word of a man who has experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wish is the father of the deed ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11659]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wish is the father of the deed]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11659</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou shalt abstain, Renounce, refrain.  [Ger., Entbehren sollst du! sollst entbehren.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58898]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou shalt abstain, Renounce, refrain.  [Ger., Entbehren sollst du! sollst entbehren.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature is a collective idea, and, though its essence exist in each individual of the species, can never in its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43820]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature is a collective idea, and, though its essence exist in each individual of the species, can never in its perfection inhabit a single object.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too quick a sense of constant infelicity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55145]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too quick a sense of constant infelicity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A prose writer gets tired of writing prose, and wants to be a poet.
